Then in race two, it was sheer dominance as he blasted his Honda CRF450R to the holeshot then set a blistering pace at the front that no other riders could match as he took a popular double win his first since joining the team last season.

"I have had a good winter training but struggled a bit in qualifying. But in the race, I had a good start and I found the leaders on the opening laps were slowing me down so I got past and it was great to take the win.
"In race two, I got a clear holeshot which was brilliant. I went straight up the inside and never shut off. Its been a long time since I had a holeshot like that! I rode my own race and I was riding smoothly. Its nice to repay the team back for their hard work this winter."

Team owner, triple world 500 champion Dave Thorpe, said: "It was a great start to the whole team for the 2022 season, especially with Tommy taking such a fantastic double win.
"And the meeting was a credit to the ACU and RHL Promotions, especially for the circuit which was exceptional especially after the recent rain. It created great racing in all the classes."
